Steady demand for double glazed units that need replacement
The demand is not only from industrial and commercial customers but also from retail customers. The biggest application of replacement double glazed units comes from owners of large boutique showrooms as well as from homes in the countryside and in cities.
What are double glazed units?
In the UK temperatures can fall quite low and in these sub-zero temperatures,
one good way of keeping out the cold air is through double glazed units. Double glazed units are basically double glass window panes that have Argon gas filled inside between the panes and then the space between the panes is sealed so that the Argon gas remains filled inside and doesn’t allow any air to remain there. This ensures that there is no decrease or increase in temperature. Sometimes instead of Argon gas, the space between the panes is left with only vacuum. In the absence of air there is no change in temperature.
Why do double glazed units need to be replaced?
With the passage of time and due to regular wear and tear, the seal of the double glazed units becomes loose. As a result the Argon gas slips away and the vacuum is also lost. Consequently air fills up the empty space between the panes. This results in condensation happening on one side of the glass and mist being formed in the empty space. The effect of this change is that to a normal user the vision through the glass is not clear anymore. Instead of having a clear vision, the user sees blurriness and finds a misty effect. Also, since air is a good conductor of heat, the temperature loss begins to happen and people inside the home don’t feel warm anymore. Rather they start feeling cold. This is a clear signal that the double glazed units have now become old and need to be repaired or need to be replaced.
Are Replacement double glazed units a must?
In new homes double glazed units are always installed. However, in older homes, sometimes one doesn’t find double glazed units. Owners of such homes have therefore started realizing the benefits of double glazed units and have started contacting manufacturers of double glazed units to replace their old window and panes with the latest high quality double glazed units.
Replacement double glazed units are a must because without them the homeowners will be unable to withstand the cold winters in the UK in which temperatures fall several degrees below zero.While there is some benefit by using room heaters and radiators or by having a fire burning in the fire place, nothing can beat a replacement double glazed unit because of it low cost and superb temperature maintenance qualities. conservatories bridgend
